Product details
Overview
MSP430F2011IRSAT from Texas Instruments is an ultra-low-power 16-bit mixed-signal microcontroller featuring 2KB+256B flash memory, 128B RAM, and a 16-bit Timer_A with two capture/compare registers. It operates from 1.8 V to 3.6 V, achieves active-mode current of 220 µA at 1 MHz/2.2 V, and supports sub-1-µs wake-up from standby mode. It is used in battery-powered sensor nodes requiring analog signal acquisition, low-energy computation, and minimal footprint.
For engineers reviewing the MSP430F2011IRSAT datasheet, MSP430F2011IRSAT pinout, MSP430F2011IRSAT application, or MSP430F2011IRSAT equivalent, key selection criteria include its 14-pin TSSOP (RSAT) package, absence of ADC or USI peripherals (distinguishing it from F20x2/F20x3 variants), integrated comparator_A+, and Spy-Bi-Wire debug interface compatibility.
Technical Context
The MSP430F2011IRSAT implements a 16-bit RISC CPU with constant generators and seven addressing modes, enabling single-cycle register operations. Its basic clock module integrates a digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) calibrated to ±1% at 1 MHz, 8 MHz, 12 MHz, and 16 MHz, plus internal low-frequency and external crystal (32 kHz) support.
It features five software-selectable low-power modes (LPM0–LPM4), with LPM4 drawing only 0.1 µA (RAM retention). The device includes a versatile analog comparator with eight-channel input multiplexer and programmable hysteresis, but no A/D converter or serial interface - confirming its identity as the MSP430F20x1 family member per SLAS491I Rev. I.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Core Architecture | 16-bit RISC CPU with 16 general-purpose registers and 62.5-ns instruction cycle time at 16 MHz |
| Memory | 2KB + 256B flash (main + info segments), 128B RAM - sufficient for compact firmware with calibration data retention |
| Supply Voltage | 1.8 V to 3.6 V - enables direct operation from single-cell Li-ion or two-cell alkaline batteries |

|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Battery-powered thermistor-based temperature monitor deployed in HVAC ducts or remote enclosures. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: MSP430F2011IRSAT performs periodic comparator-driven threshold checks, wakes on deviation, logs data to flash, and transmits via external RF link. Use Value: 0.5 µA standby current extends 2xAA battery life beyond 5 years; built-in comparator eliminates external op-amp and reference. |
Use Scenario: Tamper switch monitoring in utility meters detecting enclosure opening or magnetic interference.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultra-low-power comparator-based microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MSP430F2001IPW | 1KB flash, same 128B RAM, identical comparator and timer peripherals, 14-pin TSSOP | Lower code capacity limits firmware complexity; suitable for simpler threshold-only logic without data logging | Select when application fits within 1KB flash and requires identical low-power profile and pinout |
| MSP430F2012IPW | Includes 10-bit ADC10 (8 channels, 200 kSPS) and USI (SPI/I²C), same flash/RAM, same package | Enables analog-to-digital conversion and serial communication - adds functionality not present in MSP430F2011IRSAT | Select when design requires digitized sensor data or host communication; requires firmware and layout updates |
Compared with MSP430F2001IPW, MSP430F2011IRSAT provides double flash for enhanced firmware features; compared with MSP430F2012IPW, it trades ADC and USI for lower system cost and reduced power in pure comparator-triggered applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MSP430F2011IRSAT?
The MSP430F2011IRSAT supports a maximum system clock (MCLK) of 16 MHz, achieved via its factory-calibrated digitally controlled oscillator (DCO). This frequency is confirmed in the SLAS491I datasheet Section "Basic Clock Module Configurations" and enables high-speed instruction execution while maintaining ultra-low power consumption in active mode.
Does the MSP430F2011IRSAT include an analog-to-digital converter (ADC)?
No, the MSP430F2011IRSAT does not include an ADC. It belongs to the MSP430F20x1 family, which features only the analog comparator_A+ module. ADC functionality is present in the MSP430F20x2 (10-bit ADC10) and MSP430F20x3 (16-bit SD16_A) variants, as explicitly differentiated in the SLAS491I datasheet Family Members table and functional block diagrams.
What debug interface does the MSP430F2011IRSAT support?
The MSP430F2011IRSAT supports the Spy-Bi-Wire (SBW) interface using two pins: TEST/SBWTCK and RST/NMI/SBWTDIO. This 2-wire protocol enables full programming, debugging, and emulation - eliminating the need for a 4-pin JTAG header and reducing PCB routing complexity while maintaining full development visibility.
Is the MSP430F2011IRSAT pin-compatible with other MSP430F20xx devices in TSSOP packages?
Yes, the MSP430F2011IRSAT shares identical pinout and package dimensions (14-pin TSSOP, RSAT) with all MSP430F20xx variants offered in the PW package, including MSP430F2001IPW, MSP430F2012IPW, and MSP430F2013IPW. However, peripheral mapping differs - e.g., P1.4 on MSP430F2011IRSAT is SMCLK/CA4/TCK, whereas on MSP430F2012IPW it is SMCLK/A4/VREF+/TCK - requiring firmware adaptation.
What is the purpose of the CAOUT pin on the MSP430F2011IRSAT?
The CAOUT pin (P1.3) serves as the output of the integrated Comparator_A+ module. When enabled, it drives a digital logic level reflecting the result of the analog comparison, allowing direct connection to interrupt inputs, GPIOs, or external logic without CPU intervention - enabling ultra-low-latency, hardware-accelerated threshold detection in the MSP430F2011IRSAT.
